How well can you make comparisons in English. Can you remember the forms that we use?

In the slide presentation below you will find a number of contexts where you can practise making comparisons.
But first, a quick review:

To make the comparative or superlative of:

you:

one-syllable adjectives ending in e

add -r, -st

other one-syllable adjectives

add -er, -est

two-syllable adjectives ending in -y

change the y to i and add -er, -est

other two-syllable adjectives

put more, most in front

longer adjectives

put more, most in front

Choose a few examples from the slide presentation, and write as many comparisons as you can. You can use some of the additional language on the third slide to help you. Example:

Being an employee is generally more stable than being self-employed, but it is also more restrictive.Whereas social charges are lower when you’re self-employed, retirement benefits are not as high. Self-employed people have a more flexible schedule, while employees work more predictable hours. The percentage of employees in France is much higher than the percentage of self-employed people. That may be because it is easier to be an employee.

Now it’s your turn. What comparisons can you make?

Choose one of the contexts in the slide presentation and write a paragraph in the comments field below using the language of comparison.
